UNeDocs aims to become the world electronic trade document standard under UN auspices and will be developed into an official UN/CEFACT standard [more....].

UNeDocs is a simple and low cost answer for the exchange of document-based data:

• It has been designed with the objective to make small and medium enterprises participate in advanced supply-chains
• It is built upon the United Nations Layout Key, the world standard for international trade documents in paper format
• It is based on the UNTDED/ISO 7372 United Nations Trade Data Elements Directory
• It incorporates UN/CEFACT trade facilitation recommendations and electronic business standards for efficient and secure trade
• It implements key documents for trade (invoice, custom declaration, shipping instruction, forwarding instruction, etc.)

It is an open and technology-neutral solution that can be easily implemented by SMEs and large companies alike. UNeDocs documents can:

• Be generated in paper, XML, PDF and EDI format
• Be visualized using a standard Internet browser or can be implemented in standard office software
• Support electronic signatures

It is a powerful migration tool from paper to paper-less environment. UNeDocs has been developed by UNECE and provides interoperability for the exchange of document-based information between the public and private sector.
